I am worried about you and lonestar. Please do whatever you need to do to stay safe. This one sounds really bad.
Thank you, Mama Bear. We may take off tomorrow evening..I have a home in Waco.. I just read Waco is going to get tree toppling winds ..(so much for a complete escape!). The highways look like a parking lot right now..Many, many evacuees are coming from the coast and flood prone areas..to escape to safer environs..
This is my first hurricane...and it is a big one. Twelve hours in a closet isn't my idea of how to ride it out. I prefer going into an area farther away.
